Create left-aligned pushbutton texts
A pushbutton text is always displayed in the middle of the button by SAP GUI. For certain screens a "left aligned" layout may look better.
Appending space characters to the pushbutton texts does not alter the text position, but if you append non-breaking space characters ( or in HTML, U+00A0 in Unicode, 0xC2 0xA0 in UTF-8), you can achieve a left-aligned layout. Since proportional font is used for the pushbuttons there is no simple rule as to how many non-breaking space characters are needed, so you will need a trial and error approach.
To insert the non-breaking space characters in the Script Editor Pro you may use the key combination Ctrl+Shift+Space.
